Feels more thematically appropriate to me since you hear this when seeing the people of Coruscant pull down Palpatine's statue, much like people's image of Vince has been pulled down and we're glad to see him go.
The details, Mita. It's all in the details.

I mean, you say that, but allegedly Lesnar walked out on Smackdown and their plan to fix it is to bring in Goldberg
A lot of WWE's issues started with Vince but is just too ingrained to change overnight. I would love it if we got some new stuff going on, but it'll probably be a very slow burn

Oh, I agree. Nothing changes overnight. But Vince completely stepping down is absolutely a good thing at this point.
The Goldberg thing is probably just because he’s still contracted for one or two more matches and they need immediate star power to replace Brock. He’s obviously just a pawn in the game and won’t be winning the title, so it’s whatever. The real interesting stuff begins after Summerslam, hopefully.

I actually thought I remember seeing something that Goldbergs contract was over and he fullilled all his matches. Not that it matters, if they throw enough money at him he'll be back.

Goldberg on injury rehab, potential WWE return: ‘Still waiting’ for call
Bill Goldberg hasn’t wrestled for WWE since facing Roman Reigns at “Elimination Chamber” in February. He’s waiting to find out if he will wrestle again.

Looking back on this, I have a feeling that’s exactly what was going on. He likely knew he would be retiring soon and was just making his rounds on live TV one more time while he had full control.

True. And it’s sort of hilarious seeing such a big story being treated so nonchalantly.

I do love Vince’s whole, “Welp, guess it’s thing to retire!” approach. Like it just occurred to him that he’s old and doesn’t have to work anymore.

Stephanie led a “thank you Vince” chant at the beginning of Smackdown and he was never mentioned again. What more could you want?!

It's probably just been grinding his gears watching Hunter's NXT favorites getting shine. Vinny Mac's got to come save the industry from a Ricochet push!

I wouldn’t mind Vince returning in a commentary role. Or maybe as an on-air authority figure (to replace the new incompetent Adam Pearce).
As long as he doesn’t have any real power again, it’s whatever. Just enjoy your retirement, old man.

I can’t see Vince returning in any capacity other than a management position. The thought of him being purely on-air talent and having to ultimately answer to his daughter and son-in-law, while hilarious, is just too far-fetched.

Yeah i think he actively reduced his own tv time over the years because he felt he looked too old, if he does come back it's clear what his priority would be
